I put a 7 lb brisket on the green egg last night. Dome temperature was about 250 and probe at the grid was about 220. Meat was cooking for about an hour when I fell asleep.
I have two temperature probes in the meat, one on each side. I think internal temperature was ~110-120 when I fell asleep around 1am. Alarm went off in middle of night to tell me that grid temp fell below 180. Not sure what the internal temp was at this time. I *think* this was around 2am (2 hours into cook, 1 hour after falling asleep). Not sure what happened but next thing I knew it was 6am and the grill was out.
The grid probe was not registering a temp at that time. These are new therma pro probes so I am not sure if that means the temp was so low it wasn’t registering or if it stopped measuring because it was out of range for so long. The green egg some thermometer was showing a temp of ~ 120-150. Internal temp was in the 130s which got to a low of 130 before I got the fire going again.
From what I read, this sounds borderline on whether it will be safe to eat or not. What do y’all think? I am assuming the meat got to 140 if it was just below that 4 hours after alarm went off?
